Cole & Garrett Funeral Home and Cremation Services - GoodlettsvilleMichael Darryle Williams, born on February 13, 1962, in Old Hickory, TN, peacefully departed this life on July 25, 2025. He was a dedicated and talented fix-it-all man, known for his exceptional skills in working on floors, plumbing, and electrical systems. There was truly no problem he couldn't solve, making him a reliable friend and neighbor to many.
Michael lived a life characterized by simplicity and kindness. He was a sweet man who enjoyed the little things in life. His dedication to his hobbies was evident in the time he spent fixing up cars and riding his beloved Harley Davidson motorcycle. Fishing on the lake brought him peace and joy, while range shooting allowed him to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
He is survived by his siblings: Brenda L Thomas, Danny Williams, Cathy Hayden, and her daughters Tiffany Brown and Jennifer Gasaway, Debbie Huggins, and Timothy Williams. He also leaves behind his son, Michael Lee Williams, as well as several nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Anna and the staff at Gallatin Center for Rehabilitation & Healing for their compassionate care.
Michael is preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Mary Williams, his brother Phillip Williams (Brenda), and his son Michael Williams Jr. His loss will be felt deeply by all who knew him, and he will be remembered for his unwavering spirit and generous heart.
Michael will be laid to rest in a graveside service to be held on July 31, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Hermitage Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, located at 535 Shute Ln, Nashville, TN 37138.
